I've never been a big player for lack of players, so I've mostly collected.I've collected MEtW for a long time now and have many cards left. Before selling my extras on eBay, I'd like to build some decks to play with.However, my limitations are as follows :- I mostly have Commons and Uncos left from the the first series (black borders), and a few from the two expansions, Dark Minions and Dragons.- I'd like to build some playing decks using mostly these leftovers.- I also have a few rares left, but not many, and would like to use as few as possible to avoid having to chase down or trade for the missing ones.(if we could avoid decks with the One Ring, the Nazguls, promos, and other hard to find cards)

I can list the few rares I have to eventually trade for ones that would be missing in a deck.Whatever works.

I'd like to be able to enjoy the game a little instead of just staring at my collection...And I'd hate to have to sell my leftovers without having a deck or two to play with.

Playing Tips:

Create two Companies and move in First Turn with Short Rest to Mount Gram and with Master of Esgaroth to Cameth Brin and afterwards if you draw MP Ressources to the right site. So you draw >10 cards in one turn. Use also the ability of Radagast. The prime object is to draw cards and recycle Short Rest with Smoke Rings.

Create your own Sideboard for example with Marvels Told, A Friend or Three, Twillight and other cards to optimize your Hazard- and Ressource Strategy.

Play tips:Stick to near dragon country, play all the stuff there, use thror's map to play multiple items at one dragon lair, always try to keep a canceller for the big dragons. Once wizard enters play bring the Staff from sideboard and use his DI to either control more characters or influence sideboard factions (or both). Radagast should also help with card drawing as in Bernd's deck.Same as in Bernd's deck, hazards are made of corruption stuff since it is the easiest thing to build without rares but i prefer to add 3 unexpected outpost to recicle whatever you might need.
